honey under queen excluder

If I were to place frames with capped and un-capped honey under a queen excluder would the bees move it up into the supers, or would I just be limiting the laying space and creating a swarming condition? I have several frames I would like cleaned out/used by the bees.

If you are going to move frames of honey, move frames of honey out of the brood chamber. Why do you want the bees to move honey?
